This is a first draft and I'd already rather play it than the awful other one. Georgia and Armenia play football in Europe, although I'm not sure what the actual defnition of a country being in Europe is...

This isn't a revamp, it's a different map.

Europe 2.0? That sounds like a re-vamp to me.....

It's not a revamp because the original is going to exist in tandem with this one.

Otherwise, this map isn't really all that different from the first Europe map.

I disagree as much as possible.

The whole point of this one is to ad all the countries, adding any provinces would make it stupid.

Only the islands are an exeption because they make the game play better, especialy the islands in the north, and the med, those are actually very important to game play.

And the whole thing in the british island is also helpful to game play, I like that continent, this first draft/first ever map is amazing and I would just like to say I back this map completly. (and that's alot coming from a picky player like me!)

has it been discussed to have this as a europe map and the current europe map as something else?, the current europe map is an excellent map that I would hate to see go, but I'd also like to see where this one goes

I think they should both stay, I love the old Europe map, and I have already grown on this, this could have some great gameplay some of the best, the islands, the continents, all that needs doing is the graphics, which after this first draft I bet well be great.

Don't let me down

And for the post above by hamdall that is pointless and ruins the entire point of this map I disagree.

Again don't let me down

Those people should merge into one country and call it Yugoslavia or something.

Yogoslavia does not exist, in Europe or anywhere else

Yes, I agree with Hrvat.

I'm glad we now have a map thats been developed with all the countries and the real names of Europe countries in it.

Not just like the current "Europe" map with strange names like "Germany" as a continent and continent "Scandinavia" with the countries Estonia and Saint Petersburg, and "Belgium" as one country in the area with the Netherlands and Luxembourg!?

I think this is a great idea and it looks amazing on your first start

And about the Microstates (or ministates) as Andorra, Vatican City, Liechtenstein, Malta , San Marino and Monaco, you can maybe give it a number or letter and then in a legend of the Microstates you can place the names in it. Just a suggestion and maybe you can give them bonuses for holding 2, 3 for or more Microstates.

I complete support these map,and for old Europe map,maybe you dont notice,but these old map present Europe before 1990,because you have some country who now not exist(Western Germany,Eastern Germany,Chehoslovakia,Croatia(these will be change in Yugoslavia),so you can not compare old Europe map with new Europe 2.0 because these not same.

I preferred the colours in my first version - I think they look a bit muted/bland now... Does anybody have suggestions for a colour scheme that will 'fizz', and allow the diffreentation of the required number of areas??

Oh, and before anybody mentions it, I know that the legend needs redoing!

Meditteranean. A bonus for the dark red areas, and another for hlding the islands too. I'm not convinced I've got the divisions right here yet, and like the suggestion for having East/West Med. This (and ocean routes) needs some more thought though...

Central Europe. At the moment I don't like this colour. I do like the Benelux sub-continet idea, and will try and remember to incorporate that into a future draft.

Eastern Europe and Baltics. Two sepearte continents, with the possibility of having a bigger bonus for holding both.

Asian Borders. The pale areas (+2)are bona fide European Countries, while Turkey and Russia are (currently) not. I want to keep these together, and don't want to put Turkey in the Med.

Balkans According to one site I researched, the 7 dark blue are proper 'Balkan' countries, and Romania, Moldova and Slovenia are sometimes included in this group. I want to keep the countries here as close as possible to real-life, and have taken a bit of creative license to the boundaries to get the names to fit, and am pleased with the end result. I'm thinking of a 'Classic' Asia-equivalent bonus for this continent

In addition to the standard continent bonuses, I have been toying with the idea of disputed area bonuses, which would attract a +1 autodeploy to a 'partner'... ie:
N Ireland+England = +1 on England; N Ireland +Rep Ireland = +1 on Rep Ireland
Cyprus + Greece = +1 on Greece; Cyprus+Turkey=+1 on Turkey
If I do go down this route, then the grey area between Lithuania/Poland (which is technically part of Russia) would become Kaliningrad, which could be disputed by Germany/Russia)

I'm aware this is now a really long post, and need to catch up on some rest, so will finish here!
